Peter King On Roy Williams

[AbeBeta]

anyone got combine numbers on him? if he didn't lift in college you'd expect poor bench press numbers

 

[adbutcher]

Lets see...

Roy comes here and states that the Lions practiced harder....

Then Roy steps right into the circus here and complains about the system and not getting enough looks.

Now Roy and Romo combo in OTA's looked average ....but Roy was seen getting upset from not getting thrown to while open

and we hear now....that Roy never really worked the weights before

A strange tale indeed.

He came in and said the Cowboys practice harder, and that balls never hit the ground even in drills. He's repeatedly said he's happy to be here, so it's not clear which of his quotes your referencing or what the context was.

Does anybody, anybody, think Roy got enough looks? I thought that's one of the reasons why we bash Garrett: not giving Roy enough looks. I'm so confused.

Funny, to hear Wade tell it, RW made above-average plays routinely in the OTAs. Oh, you're talking about what Matt Mosely had to say....

And, finally, we're hearing that this is the first he's been in a regular weight program. No matter than many here find that unbelievable, I don't see how it's a current negative. But then, I'm not just looking for the negatives.

All I care about is what RW does from this point on, what took place in the past is done you can only deal with the here and now.

Doesn't show he lifted at the combine. No info at his pro day.

No doubt.

May be. I'm eating lunch, so I didn't look all that hard.

He does complain like TO and every other WR...

http://blog.mlive.com/highlightreel/2009/01/roy_williams_spouts_off_in_dal.html

We all agree that RW didnt get enough looks.....and its up to Garrett to design plays for him and for Romo to make that decision to throw RW the ball....

the point is...RW complains like all WR's do........and most of us just want him to shut up...run better routes ...get open and dont complain.

Not lifting weights isnt a negative....if your H.Walker or Bo Jackson ....but Roy does have the rep of being lazy........u would think that hitting the weight room hard in Detroit after being picked high in the 1st rd would be a priority....but I guess Roy was satisfied on just using his God given talents......for most fans....we like to see our team players doing all they can do to get better....

I think he is capabale of alot. He is a truly gifted athlete. If he worked like TO, Andre Johnson and Fitz, he could be great. While he doesnt have Calvin Johnson or Randy speed, he could be a beast if put in the time.

I want to wear my #11 Jersey on friday's, but he has to show me something first. Until then, I'll stick with Witten.

Fitzgerald is the most athletic widout of his generation, Andre Johnson is my favorite though, I like his low key no-nonsense attitude.

Williams Hitting The Weights Harder Than Ever
Posted by jellis at 6/22/2009 12:40 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

According to Peter King of SI.com, Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams is making the first concerted weight room effort of his career this off-season.

"I'm serious,'' King writes an acquaintance of Williams told him. "Roy never lifted before. Now that he has, and now that he's serious about making himself a great football player, especially with T.O. gone, I think he's really going to have a good year.''

While it's pretty hard to believe Williams could get to this level without taking a pretty good interest in weight room activities, the receiver is already in much better shape than he was when he arrived during a mid-season trade last year. Cowboys strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek told DallasCowboys.com earlier this month Williams has been hard at work this off-season to slim down and get himself in better shape for his first full season with the team.

"He came in several weeks early," Juraszek said. "He came in to work with (assistant strength and conditioning coach) Tony (Ollison) just to kind of get to know us. He had to figure out I wasn't a jerk. He got into it, he understands. It's been very positive . . .

"It's a personal situation with their body weight always, but it's a situation that makes a player more efficient and that's the only thing we're trying to achieve that way. I told him, 'If you just continue to work the way you're working it'll naturally happen for us.' His activity level is so high and he's so much more intense because he's in better shape, it'll come down naturally where it needs to be."

we'll see if it translates. David Boston was awesome at weight training. I mean he took roids, but it never translated on the field. Okay...maybe thats a bad example... lol

Boston had one fantastic year with the Cardinals, literally unstoppable. The problem was he got into bodybuilding more than into football and his trainer was one of those complete wack jobs who thinks it's perfectly okay to toy around with HGH and steroids because that silly thing called you endocrine system apparently can be bought at your local Wal-Mart. And like a lot of bodybuilders I've met, they really aren't that tough because they are so afraid of doing damage to the appearance of their body. I remember one time seeing a smallish corner just physically abuse Boston in one game when he was with the Chargers and by the end of the game Boston was whimpering away. Really pitiful to see.

I think it's obvious that Roy E. Williams has the potential to be one of the best WR's in the game and that weight training can help him realize that potential.

[GimmeTheBall!]

From his "Ten Things I Think". It is not much but I don't recall hearing that Williams was indeed so deprived:

Weight-lifting is part of the program, Roy.

What else have you not told us, you soft son of a gun????

 

[Aikbach]

Out of all the young starters in the league it isn't hyperbole to say Roy Williams can stands among the best receivers of his generation, players named Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne, Anquan Boldin, Marques Colston.

The old guard of Randy Moss, TO, Chad Johnson, Steve Smith, Amani Toomer, Deon Branch and Joey Galloway can still play but i ventire to say the 20 somethings might have better careers than the tenured 30 somethings.
